Job fair set for Friday in Laredo

Looking for a job in the Eagle Ford Shale? A job fair will be held in Laredo on Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Laredo Energy Arena, 6700 Arena Blvd.

Companies at the fair will include Halliburton Energy Services, Holt CAT and Key Energy Services.

There will also be vendors at the fair who will be looking at doing business with energy and oil-field-service companies. Some of the vendors will accept resumes and applications as they anticipate growth through serving the energy industry, a city of Laredo spokeswoman said.
